I’m leaving this hell hole permanently tomorrow morning!
Don’t look back, but this is also exactly what they want to happen. Self segregation so they can solidify their regime.
Whatever “”“regime”“” they can scrape together in the economic/ecological hellholes they call “states” won’t be enough. The coming AI tech crash, along with the next Housing bubble collapse (that is happening RIGHT NOW in the South, and spreading North!!!) will wipe out whatever regime they can build, because their zones of antiregulation and social destruction will be hit hardest. That said, I pity the unfortunate sods who want to leave but can’t yet; their window is closing pretty quickly, all things considered.
So yeah, run as fast as you can, as far as you can, and DO NOT LOOK BACK.
Evidence for this housing collapse?
Housing prices in Texas, Florida, and other historically “desirable” states are currently tanking hard with no sign of stopping. This is usually an incredibly reliable indicator of massive strains in the economy, since if people can’t afford housing, the generally can’t afford ANYTHING. The reason this has flown under the radar thus far is simple: Trump’s antics are SO INSANE that they’ve effectively overshadowed basically everything else that’s been going on in America.

This is BAD. Add onto this Southern States’ insistence on rolling back any and all disease prevention measures, and we have a multifaceted economic crisis in the making.
Safe travels!
Congratulations! Are you willing to share where you’re headed?
I imagine registering D comes with additional risk in that state especially.
I am registered as independent, and vote as progressive as I can.
Also WTF, until 2020, D held an edge in registration. It’s all those fucking conservative northerners who came down here during COVID. Two on my block, plus my boss are in this group. I’ve never been a “fuck off back to where you came from” person, but really, fuck off back to where you came from. May the alligators and hurricanes drive you back up north.
Registering republican is actually on my list. Any negatives there? I’ll be voting d until the democrats storm the capital.
As all the college educated and non whites flee the state it will become more religious extremist and regressive
They do call it the crazy state. You could all just cut off that gangrene.
